The world felt more safe and secure because of Fred Rogers.
Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood wasn’t just one of our favorite shows because we had so few other options. Singing along with “Won’t You be My Neighbor?” actually made us feel comforted, even if we didn’t realize we needed comforting.
Mr. Rogers’ soothing voice and gentle disposition was like a balm for the soul, giving us the confidence to face the world even when we would have rather hidden under our bed covers.
